Chef Darren Mc Grady had an idea on the wedding day of Prince Charles and Lady Di… Wouldn't it be amazing to work in the palace kitchens someday? A few weeks later he interviewed for the position and they accepted him!

For the cook, who now lives in Texas, the experience was something incredible and he ended up working at Buckingham Palace eleven years and then doing it four more at Kensington Palace. Eating Royally writer discovers what is eaten in the privacy of the palace.

For a chef, the ability to cook under those conditions should be like heaven. He says he had everything he could dream of and more: the best products, the best quality and the best ingredients. “You could access anything, like calling Harrods and asking them to bring you a rack of lamb with two inches of meat and six bones. What you wanted, you had.”

Thanks to him we have learned that Queen Elizabeth is a chocoholic. If anything on the menu had the ingredient of chocolate, he chose without hesitation. Your favorite dessert? Of course, the chocolate cake. As for tastes, the chef reveals a great difference between the queen and her husband, Prince Felipe.

Food for the queen is not a weakness, "eat to live does not live to eat." Felipe, on the other hand, is the foodie of the house. He loves trying new dishes, while the queen likes little to risk and her tastes are torn between some British recipes and French food.

Your favorite dishes? If there is salmon from the Rio Dee from your beloved Balmoral on the menu, you will surely order it. And he loves to start with a pate of Gleneagles if possible. The menus are prepared three days in advance so that, once the options selected by the queen are available, they can get the fresh ingredients before starting to cook.
